Why is menudo only served on weekends?!
I can only buy Menudo (tripe stew) at Mexican restaurants on weekends!. Why is that!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
There are two reasons!. First, menudo takes a long time to cook!. Second, it's traditionally a hangover cure, and hangovers traditionally happen on the weekend!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Most restaurants have "weekend" foods- things that maybe don't sell as well during week days, so they don't waste time and resources offering them on the Monday through Thursday menu!. Prime rib is a good example- people will order it to treat themselves on a Saturday night, but not a Tuesday night!. Since menudo is a favorite hangover cure, maybe they've found the most demand is on weekends when a lot of people have had too much "relaxation" the night before!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Menudo may only be served on the weekends due the long cooking time!. I recall several occasions when my wife or mother have prepared and cooked menudo they started early morning or would cook the tripe a night before!. As for Menudo being a hangover food that is NOT TRUE!. My family finds such a statement offensive!. Menudo is considered a breakfast food!. The countless times I have eaten menudo it has always been in the morning and never after a hang over!. I could think of many other foods I would rather have after a night of drinking!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When I lived in Sacramento,, Alonzo's Restaurant On Saturday and Sunday's the customers would actually line up outside to pick orders of tamales!.I asked why and most were "They were having a party!."
I would imagine that Menudo would fall in that celebration mode also!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
